MENTAL HEALTH MONDAYS: Revenge Isn’t Pretty, Just Petty… - The DV Walking Wounded
So, feeling very “down with love” this year, or still reeling from getting out of that abusive relationship? Valentines Day is literally in two days! Want some interesting, yet helpful, valentines activities to help you move past it while helping animals???? Here are a few suggestions on some good deeds that can also make you feel vindicated! I did this deliberately…so you could still do the more positive suggestions timely for Valentine’s Day. I’m going to mention some down-right petty ones later in this post that I haven’t given you time to execute…mainly because you’re better than that!
NOTE: SO many animal shelters and rescues are doing things. These are just a few of MANY examples!
First, there is Tioga County, PA’s cat Project fundraiser, just in time for “the season of love”…NEUTER YOUR EX. You heard right!
For a $20 donation from you, the project will pick a feral cat, catch it, give it your ex’s name, neuter the furry little beast, post it’s picture on social media, then set it free. All the best symbolism of your former love, while helping an animal in need! Go to Tiogacountycatproject.com to support them!
The Human Society of Warren County, VA also has a similar NEUTER YOUR EX program, for a $25 free-will-gift. 368 cats were sterilized in 2023, this program was SO successful. Who says you can’t get purpose from pain? You can find their project fundraiser HERE, in order to show them some love and support!
Finally, the most interesting Valentine’s Day fundraiser is brought to you by the San Antonio (Texas) Zoo. They have the #crymeacockroach fundraiser. That is, for a $25 donation, you can buy a rat, name it after your Ex, then the zoo will feed it to one of their snakes. For a $10 donation, you can name a cockroach, wihich staff will feed to an appropriate predator. For our vegetarian friends, you can, for $5 name a vegetable after your Ex and it will be consumed by a vegetarian zoo animal. Please GO HERE to participate for the zoo.
Sadie’s Place Rescue of Lone Oak, Texas will allow their furry little tenants to “help” you with your problem. For a $5 donation, we’ll write their name on a Doggie Poop Bag or inside a Cat Box! Leave the rest up to the dogs and cats of Sadie’s Place!

The Rhode Island SPCA, for $5, can write your Ex’s name on a piece of paper, to put into a litter box for the shelter kitties to “GO” on. Go to http://www.tinyurl.com/rispcalovestinks, to help their mission…and YOURS…
I’d always wanted to send my Ex a “glitter bomb,” mainly because he hates glitter (and Easter grass) and it would shoot a HUGE amount of glitter when the recipient opened it. I’ve been to GlitterBomb.com MANY times, but their website is more for “positive” occassions. It is confidential, however, regardless of your reasoning…I guess I’m too much of a chicken or a “cheapskate” to carry out the glitter bomb plan!
GlitterBomb.com allows you to choose your message AND your glitter…I still think this is too “PG” for me…if I’m going to serve up the ole Ex something, I’m thinking something SUPER distasteful…
So, if you’re REALLY petty (and you actually want to spend the money on the Ex-Loser), visit http://www.PranksAnonymous.com/ for VERY distastful, raunchy gifts. This is also totally anonymous, with the recipient not knowing who sent it or from where. The X-rated gifts are meant to confuse and embarrass, giving the wrong impression. Want to make a major point? They offer their own glitter bombs, frank greeting cards, edible pranks, embarrassing mail, and prank product gift boxes. I’d love to send something horrible to my Ex, but he’s not worth the cost of the gift and I wouldn’t be able to see his reaction. I’ll for go this for now and resist the urge.
